Beginner Bass Player Looking For Some Advice

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey everyone whats going on? my name is Nelson and Im new to the forum Im in need of a little advice on some bass amps any responses would be greatly appreciated so heres a little background info Im primarily a guitarist and have been for the last 6 years recently I got an opportunity to join a rock cover band as a bass player they play about 2-3 times a week, get paid and travel all over the south east so I agreed to learn the setlist and go audition especially since guitarists are a dime a dozen where I live and I was having a hard time finding a band so I went out and bought a cheap Peavey Millennium BXP bass to practice on as its all i could afford at the time got home and the first song I learned was Crazy Train Keep in mind I had never touched a bass in my life prior to this and I soon realized that I love the bass just as much or maybe even more than I love playing guitar so thats basically how I got started playing bass but unfortunatley all the guitar knowledge I have attained over the years is usless as I have found playing bass is a whole new world to me but anyways im basically going to need a great sounding rig that can handle bars/clubs and outdoor gigs and can cut through the mix with a loud guitarist and drummer I was looking into Gallien Krueger maybe a 800RB 700RB or Fusion 550 and on the other hand was looking into a MarkBass Little Mark III I have played a MarkBass rig at a gig that someone let me use and thought it sounded great but I dont want to limit myself so if their are any other amp suggestions you have feel free to let me know I would also like to know what cabinet recomendations you have im a rock player and some of my favorite bassists are Duff Mckagan Rudy Sarzo Niki Sixx Robert Trujillo etc.. Looking forward to hearing your responses and meeting other musicians take care
